A couple of weeks ago I installed a new CDRW drive on my LM 8.2 machine with the intention of backing up many home directory files in preparation for installing 9.1. Since that time I've been trying to set up ide-scsi emulation with no success.
Two things,
add to the append line in/etc/lilo.conf like this append=" hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi "
then run in terminal. /sbin/lilo to check new lilo script is OK
this will scsi-em's both dvd and writer.
change in /etc/fstab like this
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
this enables the new scsi-em'd devices to be mounted.
in terminal , mount -a
right mouse click on desktop, create new cdrom device, name it, then rightmouse click the icon newly created to properties, and point the device at the appropriet /dev/scd0, or /dev/scd1
All should work,
John
